I must be retaining all the information, I'm reading, because it actually
made sense when reading! Something I never thought would happen when I
started php. It all looked so hard!

Is there any particular reason, and do you not find all the extra printing
of html a chore?

I know what a CME is but excuse my lack of knowledge but what is a
template-engine?

My editor colours php and html differently, so I find it easier to break
out, and maintain. But I kind of see your point!

;-) Yep, my Danish was never any good! I remember one ill fated trip asking
where the nearest toilet was with my phrase book, and the kindly old
gentleman escorted me to the nearest chemist. And then waited to show me
the way back! Lol... I ended up purchasing a whole host of things I didn't
need because I was too embarrassed to admit I'd got it wrong. Ummm I think
I'll leave that part of my past where it is.;-)
As you work with CMS check out this link http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/
they do some amazing icons! And they're free what could be better. They
really are beautifully made. And hundreds of them to boot.
Best wishes,
Linda
